Director BenDavid Grabinski On Crafting A Visually Immersive Tale On An Indie Budget With 'Happily'
I really loved the Giallo touches behind director BenDavid Grabinski's dark comedy/thriller hybrid "Happily." The feature, headlined by Kerry Bishé and Joel McHale, centers on a married couple whose happiness is envied by their friends. Things go south when a mysterious stranger (Stephen Root) upends their lives, bringing violence, betrayal and tragedy to their suburban lives.
#Happily hits theaters and VOD on March 19 .
